Man City & Leicester’s Riyad Mahrez

A potentially enormous rumour have sprung up on Tuesday afternoon as it’s being claiming Manchester City may be launching a late transfer window assault on Riyad Mahrez.

The news has been reported by well known English journalist Alan Nixon, who writes for the Sun.

It’s being claimed that Man City have taken a large and late interest in Leicester star Riyad Mahrez. The Sun report:

Money is no object in the Mahrez move but they will face opposition from the Foxes heirarchy who have turned down advances in the past and have the cash to do so again.

City want Mahrez today and the player is aware of their interest and seeking showdown talks to force the transfer.

It’s believed Man City would offer £60 million for Mahrez.

UPDATE: The story has been confirmed by the Telegraph’s John Percy.

Man City have made an inquiry for Riyad Mahrez.. but #lcfc in no mood to sell and a £60m bid would be instantly dismissed. Valuation significantly higher now following the Coutinho & Van Dijk deals this month
